it's hard to read. it would help if top posters would realize that, for 
those of us who read sporadically, we may only read a handful of people, 
relying on judicious snipping, to understand the gist. if i need to, i'll 
go back and read the person(s) to whom you were replying.

same goes for people who remove everything and just post into the void, as 
if they aren't responding to anyone in particular!

fucking irritating. i blame fucking google with its fucking gmail.

first microsfot ruined email, now google is crushing it to death with it's 
ridiculous threading. fuckers.
